As Mark Twain wisely observed, "There are lies, damned lies, and statistics."
The constant hysterical reporting of "NEW CASES!" is a grotesque misrepresentation of the actual status of the pandemic. Same for "deaths." While those numbers are accurate, they give the false impression that "we" are, in effect, losing the battle with this disease.
But the reality is quite different. The percentage of people who actually get sick when exposed, and the steadily improving prognosis of even those who get sick are hidden in the weeds somewhere, only available to those who take the time to uncover them.
The chances of any healthy American under the age of 65 being exposed, getting sick, and dying from this disease are approximately the same as their being eaten by a shark. But we won't have that fact reported unless and until a Democrat is in the White House.
